You are not an ego, a separate self confined to a body, fighting its way through a hostile world, condemned to trudge wearily across a barren landscape. You are in no danger except from your own mistaken thoughts.
Without correction, will problems continue to multiply and never will there be an end to them. They are, every one, simply the results that follow your fundamental error.
When you ask the ego to make your decisions, the state of peace that is your true home is all but forgotten.
To identify with the ego and the thought system of separation, is to choose the guide to pain, suffering, and disaster.
When miracles are all you want, all your problems will vanish, for you will no longer need them. The recurring ‘problems’ and conflicts of human life are but the symptoms that follow the fundamental error of misidentification.
There is no hierarchy of illusions. All are healed with equal ease if they are given to the Holy Spirit to be replaced with miracles.
Yet is the content of every problem the same, no matter how it appears. It is illusion. And the solution is always the same: a miracle offered you by the Holy Spirit in your mind to correct your wrong perception. This fact makes all problems, no matter the appearance, equally easy to resolve.
In reality, you cannot be separate from God as you live, move, and have your Being in Him. Yet in dreams where you seem to be separate from all you experience, does this one error, this belief in what could never be, seem to take many forms.
What is the answer to all your apparent problems? You have no problems but one: separation from your creative source. Every problem you ever had, have now, or will ever have, arises from and is a form of this one error.
To choose Truth, and to devote all learning and teaching to meeting the conditions under which Truth can return, is the only use of your learning ability in this world that is truly useful, and the only learning goal that is meaningful.
Real learning is a process in which the falsity of your mind is undone, and the learning of what is true takes place. Illusion cannot be long maintained when you refuse the lessons it would teach you.
The ego’s thought system and its values, must be recognized as false that you may let it go and leave your mind open to receive true ideas.
Your mind must be taught rightly in order to go beyond all learning and perception. Your formidable ability to learn must be understood in the Light of Truth, and used for Truth’s return.
When the Holy Spirit has guided you to learning’s end, it is needed no more, and in that state of mind are you made ready for Truth’s return
The ability and necessity to learn is fundamental to the mind of perception. Without it, a world cannot be constructed and maintained. When perception took the place of knowledge, it became necessary to undergo a learning process to correct perception that knowledge may return.
Repetition is an essential learning principle. Without it, learning cannot be achieved. However, repetition takes place in time and prolongs the need for time.
Learning is a necessary condition of life in a world of time and separation. When learning proceeds under the Holy Spirit’s guidance, according to His purpose, it is used to undo illusions, to learn in an entirely new way; learning is used to set you free rather than to imprison.
Whether conscious or unconscious, it is a choice that governs your life and determines its conditions. The necessity of learning to choose differently by learning to think differently, is why the process of salvation must work itself out in time.
If you could see what salvation offers you, you would not hesitate one moment and salvation would be immediate. The lack of clarity in your mind, the as yet undeveloped ability to discern truly what is in your highest interest, keeps you a prisoner to the past, to the ego, by your own choice.
What is the price to be paid for salvation? Only the giving up of what was never true. The release of all attachment to fear, sin, and guilt. The relinquishment of the need to attack and defend, to suffer and die.
All the Power of God is contained within the desire for salvation.
Through your sincere desire for salvation, it is given you.
All the Power of God is contained within the desire for salvation.
This desire, this inspiration to return to your Father, is the gift of the Holy Spirit, Who has been holding it for you since time began. He joyfully offers it to you when you are ready, and through your acceptance is salvation assured.
All the Power of God is contained within the desire for salvation.
That is the only desire arising from the mind of separation that is whole and true, and has as its aim to leave illusion behind forever and return to what is only true.
What has as its purpose the liberation of the mind from all bondage, from the tyranny of the ego and the darkness of ignorance, cannot but succeed, for its purpose is total and uncompromising.
The mind that has accepted salvation, is free of fear and resting in the Self. Now it can offer salvation to all its brothers, for salvation is accepted for all and freely given that it may be shared.
Salvation is accomplished through the healing of the mind, the correction of all error that the mind be empty, ready, and able to receive the Truth.
Salvation is the freeing of your mind from the effects of its errors of thought, the correction of all false ideas and beliefs and the subsequent transformation of experience.
How can there be a gap between Truth and illusion, between what exists and what does not? The ego would have you believe such a gap exists, for the ego must maintain a sense of separation in your mind, a belief that you are separate from the Truth here and now.
Whenever is the time, and wherever you are is the place to find Truth.
Truth is not somewhere else far away,
a something that must be diligently sought.
It is closer to you than your own heartbeat.
There is no distance that separates you from the Truth at this very moment.
Remember your Father Who calls to you unceasingly.
And remember the Holy Spirit,
Whose care and concern for you are unceasing,
Who guides you along the path He has chosen for you.
